Eddie Murphy will play funk legend George Clinton in an upcoming biopic directed by Bill Condon. The script is based on Clinton’s memoir Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain’t That Funkin’ Kinda Hard On You?, which traces his roots in 1940s North Carolina to becoming a pioneer of funk and founding the musical collective Parliament-Funkadelic. Murphy will also produce the film, while Clinton is also on board as an executive producer.
